selective assasins

destroy the life holding the view

destroy the view

the odd thinking that killing the messanger
will send the rioting crowds home

i have been muzzled, drugged, bugged, harassed
the rhetoric of revolution from a leftest
of course drew their ire
writers get files when they write critical books about the CIA
study under known radicals who are watched by the FBI
during Cointelpro the fbi was exposed as practicing the divine art of driving people to suicide
a litany of sick mind games and assisantions
from years of doctoring evidence in their labs
to funding right wing radicals...

now they pay bloggers to try to insight right wingers to violence
coaching him on how to stay 'just this side' of the law
as the demand blood from the left
classic agent provocateur coaching a writer on how to get their enemies killed

they would like to see these people  attacked

that is about the only conclusion you can come to for acting this recklessly

sure they might say they were just trying to snuff out right wing terrorists...
of course that didn't work out at all either...
the spies the spies the spies ...  i pity them their senseless lives of lies

the FBI's  nazi fanatic finally did go too far

started blogging about how someone should kill some federal judges
put maps of their houses on his website
they threw him in jail for that
the fbi long ago crawled under the covers with the right wing
got an orgy going with these red-necks
who else would they align themselves with when they felt like they were at war with the blacks?
everyone hopes we have moved past that point... so who do they think they at war with now?
fucking dj's like me?  John Lennon?  Suds Terkel?  20K more a day added to the millions
under domestic surveillance in my home country....  how welcome we feel
freaks some out too much for them to continue
got Hemingway locked up by  convincing his family that they were not FBI following him

I figure I already got them on my ass
so am I going to care or not?
I can't change the lawless actions protected by their national security decrees
the patriotism act that ironically silences me -- an actual patriot
isn't that astounding...

Declaring Something A National Security Matter is the governments way of making it go away
no one has to take the blame
no money is payed
no reputations tarnished
no votes cost

they try to keep me in a silent file
when the guy came up to me at the beach and told me to write childrens books
or just make them up in my head and never write them down

I was like -- who the hell are you to ask me lie about one damn thing?
What the fuck loyalty do I owe the government?

Puzzling Evidence All Over The Globe
some you can ferret out -- most hidden away

we sent an army to afganistan that opened back up the opium fields

can not deny our part in supporting heroins flow around the globe
80 percent of the worlds smack
from a lawless patch of mountain land

got all involved in bringing in coke
with the contras
told our little gangs of terrorists to go ahead and fund their war with drugs

try and tell ourselves in our heart of heart we know it is getting better

that we are getting better

the phonetics of survival

reinforced with the faith of prayer
propped up by a mere resignation to make the best of

bandaged  with ideology

the foxhole where they learn to pray

 for a god specific enough

 to understand their pain

forgive their sins

footnote:
puzzling evidence is something i ripped off from the talking heads.  I have watched david byrne's film True stories over and over and consider it my favorite of all.
